    What if chili and beef stew had a love child? Then this would be the result. This is my absolute favorite chili. So good, you won't even miss the beans. My husband, who is not paleo, said its the best chili he has ever eaten.

    This chili has two kinds of beef in it and uses chopped mushrooms instead of beans. I combined the best ingredients from chili and from beef stew to make a hearty, delicious, hot bowl of paleo comfort food.

    Makes plenty of leftovers to make Chili Squash Boats for lunch the next day, click here for that recipe: Chili Squash Boats

      I added carrots, celery and peppers. I also added yellow squash and extra zucchini in place of mushroom. I hope it all turns out okay. What do you think of my substitutions? I also rinsed really well kidney beans and added them. Did I ruin my carb count?

        Karen, all of those ingredients sound like they would be very good in chili. It will have more carbs with the beans, but should not be very high carb (depending on how many beans were added). If you added just a small amount of beans and carrots it should be okay.

        Hi Annette, yes crushed tomatoes would work, it might be more chunky texture though.

      I made this for dinner tonight. A family member has not been dealing well with beef so we substituted pork in both forms. I didn't have any pumpkin puree so put some butternut squash soup for it -- didn't want to lose any layers of flavor. I didn't need to add oil to saute the vegetables because there was ample from the ground pork. Did add coconut oil for the stew meat. It cooked on high in the crock pot for two hours. We checked a piece of the stew meat and it was done. Perhaps pork cooks more rapidly than beef.
      Verdict: A couple members did not care for the mushrooms in it. One of them doesn't like the texture of most cooked mushrooms. One person commented that it was very 'tomatoey'. He's not the biggest fan of tomatoes.
      Upshot: Yes make it again. Leave the mushrooms out. Add sweet potato or yam next time instead. Maybe a smaller can of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomato. Might not be such a strong tomato flavor. not sure about that one.
      Thanks for the recipe.

        Hi Gail,
        I am thinking pork would work better in a "white chili" recipe that does not use a tomato base. This one is definitely geared for beef, but may work with some tweaking. I know what you mean, I have a family of 5 and it is hard to please everyone's particular tastes, dislikes and allergies. So I'm always changing recipes around to make it work for everyone. 🙂

      I need clarification ....what do you actually mean by the tomato purée/sauce. What are you using? Like a "spaghetti sauce"?

        Sorry Stacia, what I meant was tomato puree or tomato sauce.

      If I don't want to add the mushrooms, is there something I could substitute? I'm assuming 2 cups volume needs to be replaced by something. Do you have any suggestions? I don't like mushrooms and my daughter cannot eat them, but this sounds so good. Thanks

        Kathy, you can replace the mushrooms with chopped yellow squash. Or double the zucchini.
